Pride and Prejudice - An elegant tableau revolving around the five
Bennett daughters, including clever, strong-spirited Elizabeth.
Austen's masterpiece is a study of love, loss and snobbery. Sense
and Sensibility - The engaging story of sisters Elinor and
Marianne, whose lives are turned upside down when they are left
almost penniless following the death of their father. Two men with
whom the sisters form attachments present more unforeseen
challenges along the way. Emma - Emma is an exquisitely crafted
social portrait of late Eighteenth-century society, widely
considered to be Austen's most literarily accomplished work. Emma
Woodhouse, self-appointed meddling matchmaker, stands to lose out
on love herself if she isn't careful. Persuasion - In part
autobiographical, Persuasion has a quieter sense of humour, and
takes a more serious tone, than some of Austen's other novels. Anne
Elliot is revisited by her ex-fiancee, coinciding with a downturn
in her family's fortunes, and has some choices to make. Northanger
Abbey - Young and susceptible, Catherine Morland expects dark
secrets and many dangers to be lurking in the hidden recesses of
Northanger Abbey. In fact, the real obstacles lying in her path are
more mundane but just as serious as her imagined horrors. The
collection also includes 2 Bonus CDs including The Watsons, an
early Austen short story, and a collection of letters. Titles read
by highly-acclaimed British actresses including Anna Massey,
Harriet Walter and Joanna Lumley.
A girl becomes a Queen... This illuminating serial charts the
transformation of the young Victoria from spirited teenager to shy
young bride to celebrated ruler of Britain and 'Mother of Europe'.
But while her roles changed, her essential nature remained the
same: vibrant, passionate, principled and fiercely independent.
Through extracts from Victoria's own diaries and letters, and
dramatised episodes featuring the characters closest to her, we are
given a thrilling insight into the thoughts and feelings of the
woman behind the crown - and the secrets of her mind and heart. The
key events of her life are revealed in a new perspective - from her
coronation, which captured the heart of a nation; to her blissful
wedding and honeymoon; the birth of her nine children and the death
of her beloved Albert. Adapted by acclaimed scriptwriter Juliet Ace
and featuring a star cast including Adrian Lukis, Anna Massey and
Christopher Cazenove, this magical drama paints a detailed portrait
of Victoria's younger life, revealing some of the remarkable and
long-lasting achievements of this extraordinary queen. Duration: 2
hours 30 minutes approx.
